How do I get alerted when a vehicle overstays its parking window?
WebRun checks every active parking session in Flash Parking every few minutes against its paid, reserved, or permitted window. Once a vehicle runs past its grace period, typically 15 minutes, it posts an alert to Slack naming the garage and space, and texts the roving attendant once, so overstays get handled before they turn into a towing dispute.
- Overstays get flagged within minutes of the grace period ending
- Attendants are texted once per vehicle, never spammed
- Enforcement decisions stay with your staff, not the software
Built for parking garage operators · surface lot operators · parking enforcement teams · parking management companies

Questions, answered
Does it charge the driver an overstay fee automatically?
No. This workflow only alerts your team to the vehicle and space. Charging a fee or calling for a tow stays a decision your staff makes.
How long is the grace period before something counts as overstayed?
Whatever you set per garage, typically 15 minutes past the paid, reserved, or permitted window, so a driver walking back to their car doesn't trigger a false alert.
Will the attendant get texted repeatedly about the same car?
No. Each overstayed vehicle triggers one text. It won't text again for that same vehicle while it remains overstayed.
